This mod allows the crafted items to be restocked even if the owner isn't on the lot & if even if you don’t have any in your inventory, this also gets rid of the messages below.
"The Owner of a shop must be present to restock Crafted Items."

"There are no more crafted items in the owner's inventory. Make some more items and the out of stock products will be replaced."
EP3 is required to use this mod.
This mod is compatible with FFS & GLS.

It should ne very popular
Im so lazy to prepare all those cakes again...

This is only for crafted items not food.
 
edit: I have not tested with food so it may work.

Awesome!

and as to the previous post... it would be even more awesome if you made one that worked in the bakery.  No matter how hard I try I just cant keep mine stocked!  I may have to drop by the request thread and see if its already there or not.

Thanks again for another great mod!

Actualy it may work with food i meant that I had tried it with food yet.

Very cool.

it doesn't work, when it is being restocked it simply replaces the out of stock sign with nothing.

ok i did some further testing and what happens is i use the crafted collection that you can buy i downloaded this from MTS2 and then when they restock in my inventory a empty picture shows up saying that it's a dollhouse which offcourse isn't cause there aint nothing there, then when i try to place that doll house somewhere the game crashes.

Thats strange it restocks in my game & it doesn't put any icons in my inventory.

tried it again by just crafting the first item and still the same problem :( i hope you can get it fixed i would love this feature

Does it ever restock in your game when you click restock or does it always just delete the restock sign?

it just delete the restock sign with the crafted items normal objects are just fine they restock as they should and when i take the hack out and i have items in my inventory they restock just fine to.

I am still not getting any blank or incorrect icons in my inventory & so far everything is restocking so I think you may have something else that may be conflicting with this hack.

any idea what it can be ??

i rechecked everything, scanned with simpe for duplicates etc. used all the scanners out there but nothing came up only hacks i have are yours as i got rid of every other hacks i like to keep hacks from 1 person then i know it wont conflict with each other, and i have the buy crafted objects pack from MTS2 site. Like i said when i take this hack out it works fine.

Thank you

I've just tested this hack with my bakery and every thing is working correctly,

It works for me also but I think there may be another mod that conflicts with this because so far 2 people that I'm aware of reported it's not working for them.

i definatly hope you can get it working for everyone, cause it doesn't work here yet :(

I know it's the strangest thing that only 2 of you that I'm aware of are having the same problem.
do you have a link to the collection @ mts2 that you are using? so I can try it in my game to see if it causes any problems.
 
edit: or if you could attach the .zip file to your reply I will download it.

no problem here you go

I already PM'ed you about this one. Thanks, you're one of the best modders out there.

I think your going to have to go through your downloads and disable the other hacks not made by me to see what is conflicting with this hack, the other person who was having the same problem as you found a bunch of filenames with random numbers & disabled them and now it's working for them; I tried that collection & am still not having any problems in my game.

could you ask that person which files he disabled it would definatly help.

I took everything out and only left this 1 hack in there and still the same it doesn't work :(

Have you downloaded any houses for your sims? if so one may have installed a hack that you are unaware of.

no i haven't done any houses at all, i hope this person can tell you what files he took out maybe i can trace it down.

Sorry, I can't recognize the hack I disabled since it's just a bunch of numbers.

When I first tested this mod, after I restocked one crafted item, I found a lot of junk items that can only be deleted by move_objects on in my inventory. After I deleted those things. I tried restocking a crafted item, the out of stock sign disappears.

CyberOps: check your sims' inventories. If you found junk stuff in there, that might have caused the signs to disappear.

Off topic, but somewhat related...
If it's still not working, I have a sugesstion (alternate way)

1. type boolprop testingcheatsenabled true on the cheat window
2. SHIFT+click on the out of stock sign
3. Choose *Fake Restock

You will still get the annoying message "there are no crafted items in the owner's inventory", but your crafted items will still be restocked.

Thanks for the reply samantha, maybe squinge can do something with this cheat and make this active all the time ?? and have the message not show up ??

There is a program at http://www.simwardrobe.com/ (http://www.simwardrobe.com/) that may help if you are have a problem with this or any other hacks.

Ok im going to give that program a try, i added a screenshot of what happen. My inventory was empty when i click restock i get the following item saying it's a head slot.

That's probably what's causing the sign to disappear.

yeah but i deleted it and after i have done that i do the restock and then it comes again and sometimes it changes to something completely different.

Actually, that's happening to me again. Tried the program Squinge was talking about, but didn't have any conflicts reported

i have no conflicts with this hack either so that is the weirdest thing, like i said maybe he can do something with the cheat and make it so it's always active or maybe make an object where you can enable some like always restock and disable the annoying message. Just some ideas.

I wonder if it's related to the restock sign problem some people have reported where the signs appear out in the street, I still have yet to experence that problem myself.

i dont have that problem either never had, but maybe you can do something with the cheat as i indicated it would be great :)

Are you talking about that fake restock cheat?

That is very strange I wonder what is causing that to happen that looks like the buy bar you see above customers heads.

yeah the fake restock cheat maybe that would be interesting to use somehow, just so you can keep restocking and also that the employees can restock. Im sure you can figure something out.

Ok I will try doing something with that but it may take a while longer then most of the requests I have done so far but I'll give it a shot.
 
edit:I will update when there is new information to report but so far nothing has worked that I tried. I would like to know what is causing the current version from not working for only 2 of you and nobody else that I know of.

great we are patiently awaiting your product :)
 
just wanted to ask you to keep us updated if possible on your progress with this cheat thing :)

What hacks other than mine do you have installed because I was thinking if both of you have a common hack installed that hack may be the cause of this current version not working for you.

i dont have any hacks installed anymore other then yours cause i tried it on my other pc clean install with only your hacks and still had the same problem that is why i hoped you could do something with that cheat option.

You still got that strange thing in your inventory even with a clean install?

yeah it still happens but only with this hack, if i take this hack out then it doesn't do it and it restocks normaly if i have it in inventory that is

Ok I just got it working I will post a link to it in a second so you can try it.
It's here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?p=84163)
 
I added it to the customer loyalty painting download OFB_CustomerLoyalty&restock.zip

i tried this restock without owner again since i now have the family fun stuff pack and now it when i do restock i get one of the new chairs from family fun added to my inventory, just thought i would let u know.
 
i also tried it with the fix located here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.net/smf/index.php?topic=3812.0 (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.net/smf/index.php?topic=3812.0) but that didnt help either

Have you tried using this with testing cheats enabled to see if you get an error message?

no i have not tried that yet but i will the next time i play, the other version works great with the cheat, the one in the painting that is.

Hi Squinge. I have some weird conflict too. I tried restocking some sir-bricks-alots, and instead an NPC appeared, the slob from downtown. Quite weird. He was priced aswell. Ive run the conflict program, and have no conflicts. Nothing is added to my inventory like others who have reported a problem. I shall try disabling other mods now.
(Ps, I have all expansions, including Family Fun)


Edit. I disabled all hacks except this one, and instead of the slob turning up ( I had to delete him with move objects), nothing spawned/restocked. Just empty space......

I have a collection of OFB crafted items, do you think this could be conflicting? Its the only thing I havent tried.

You could try it with the collection disabled & see what happens, does the hacked painting work for restocking in your game? also what language does your game use? I'm not sure if that would cause a problem or not.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried the hacked painting, and that works fine, so I shall use that from now on. Well, I think the language is UK English, or just English, Im not sure if there is a regional difference.
Thanks for the painting anyway, that works fine, and all of your other brilliant hacks I use.

Keep up the great work.

The problem with this hack is very strange you are only the 3rd person that i'm aware of that has it, if it would do that to me I may be able to fix it, but it doesn't so it's hard to figure out the cause of the glitch.

i still have the same problem to, im sure 1 day you will figure it out squinge, your a genious when it comes to hacking the sims.

ps. i love the new way you post updates by setting the date, very good to see what is updated now. thanks.

Hi,
probably related to the issues mentioned before, with this mod in place all robots disappear when they should be restocked except the Servo.
The hydrobot, cleanbot, sentrybot, munchiebot and toy robot all disappear rather than being respawn.

That is strange the servo's work correctly for me as do all the foods, ect. are you using a buyable servo hack?

Servo's work. The other robots don't.
Actually the toy robots *seem* to work as they actually get restock signs (the rest just disappears), but toy robots disappear as they are restocked.

I have a buyable crafts collection, but in this case the robots were all made in the shop.

When you say disappear do you mean they disappear from your sims inventory? or the shelves

They disappear from the floor or shelves. They cannot be restocked as the objects are gone, so I have to recraft them and place them back for sale.

Have you ever tried this hack with testing cheats on to see if it gives you an error message?

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't gotten any error when it happens, and it only happens with the robots on platforms (clean-, hydro-, sentry-, munchiebot).

It works for everything else.

I am not certain the base problem is your mod by the way: today I played on my other system without any mods (except a few essential bugfixes) and then I noticed restocked robots are placed diagonally on their platforms.
I suspect something in the restocking code is screwey, and for some reason this causes all kinds of problems with robots.

Ok thanks for the information.

Restocking does work with food, which is great! Unfortunately when I restock food on Home lots the whole thing just dissapears. The sign is gone and there is no food, and of course I don't want to manually restock because I don't really have any, Hence the hack. So no more home bakeries until something fixes this. Thanks!

I'm not sure what the reason for that is maybe another hack you are using or something because it still works %100 for me and most other people; it's hard to figure out a way to fix it when it works perfect for me:)

======
Sorry buddy
I jave the same problem - crafted items dissapear when restock 'em. :(
I suppose that there is a conflict with a "customobjectsplacableonshelves" hack of Numenor
 
logs applied

Thanks, I was wondering if maybe that mod was the cause of the problem because I'm not using that mod & this works great for me, could you try this mod without that one? & let me know if it works:)

Hi!
Sorry for my late answer, but i have the same conflict, even if i put away the numenor customobjectsplacableonshelves :(
The objects simply dissapear.

Which objects are you having a problem with? what other craftable mods are you using?

Well, my craftable objects, like toys, flowers...

I will go see the new post! ;)

Thanks, hopefully this alternate version will work for you :)

Im sorry but the craftables objects  dissapear when they are restock... Well, thanks anyway.
Im going to look if it's conflict with another hack or something.

I think it must be another mod that doesn't like this one :)

Oh yes! it's working now!!! thanks!!! :D
I use the second version, the alternate one and it's works!

i put away my hack from simlogical r.i.p. and maybe it was conflit with one buisness ones.

Great, Thanks for telling me :)

i also have that problem, but for me it doesnt just delete the signs it does restock the item. i took some screen shots for you so you could see what is happening. also when i went home i tried to cook something to see if it would remove those empty spaces and she wouldnt do it. though there wasnt anything blocking her way so i am confused about that also.

i also installed the no smelling food hack after the first time yours crashed the game. figured that maybe that would help it some but no i am still getting empty spaces and strange objects showing up.

i guess i could just test further for you, take out all my hacks to see which one its conflicting with. if you dont mind me doing so, please let me know and i dont mind to do it for you today.

Bea

i have the new hack by the way. also sorry its early! umm i dont have crafted items persay since i have a bakery so i am not getting the crafted items problems everyone else is having with them disappearing. but i am getting the blanks and such in inventory. now i do have many hacks in the game i can remove to see whats going on but dont guess really mine would help since mine isnt an inventory item?

These are from the business (she bought realastate and owns her own shop in bluewater)

This one is the from home
(http://inspsofladybea.com/Downloads/inventoryprob4.jpg)

Any further information you can provide will be very helpful. Could you run the hack conflict detection utility from simwardrobe.com before you start dissection and attach the hackreport.txt file to a post? That will be extremely helpful. Thanks. :)

not exactly sure if i did it right. i put it in my downloads folder but i also have sub folders in there. it didnt find any problems so guess thats not whats causing it?
 
*edit*
ok upon further inspection i noticed that she cant cook at home but she can cook on the community lot she owns. Also if the cakes and pies are not in her inventory when the restock is done it wont replace it. It does remove the restock thingy but then you have a blank spot left.
 
When i had first put the hack in i had extra stock items of all the pies and cakes so i didnt notice that it was having conflict of not restocking items.

Thank you very much. That helps eliminate some possibilities. I would advise removing any other global mods you have until the problem goes away (if it ever does) and report back which file was the problem. Also, are things normal if you remove this mod only?

when i took the hack out it was just fine.(which by the way i found out that both the zips to download are the same?)

are they supposed to be different files or is the first one the only one needed? I put the first zip in before the

second. but the second just over wrote the first. I still have all other mods in the game except the super fridge and paybills hack. since those were put in around the same time frame as the other i well have to test each one to see whats going on.

The not being able to cook at home wasnt yours i dont think, i had a super fridge hack in there from

 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=111564) and when i removed it and put in a normal fridge it was
just fine. i had your mod in before i put super fridge in.

also i couldn't figure out where my stocking folks was going to, umm i found out where they went. not sure why that is

happening. but i have some images so you can see what happened. Those to was causing difficulty when trying to restock them.

now to just figure out how to remove the empty and not supposed to be there inventory without crashing the game.

OFB_RestocknoCraftedItems.zip <-- Try this one first if it doesn't work then
 
OFB_RestocknoOwnerAltVer.zip <--Try this one AFTER you delete the other one from downloads. Do not try both at once. (Both in the first post)
 
The restock signs appearing in the corner of the lot is a Maxis bug. Numenor has written a fix for it over at MTS2. Give me a few minutes and I can get you the link.
 
Please let me know what happens. If there is still a problem with blank inventory items, let me know also, and I will find someone more expert at that particular problem than me to help.
 
*edit*
Here is Numenor's mod: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=149574 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=149574) :)

sorry it took a bit to get back to you. i tried OFB_RestocknoCraftedItems and that one works just fine. i guess i got confused with which to have installed. i did try the other download but that one does not work in my game.

Thank you for your help
LadyBea
